Hi ppl
im realy looking at importing now. (guess im a bit late coz i no all the good stuffs left japan along time ago but..)

What do u guys know about Compliance.

does the car how to be returned completely to stock? :crazy:

i mean most the cars if seen on auction have exorst and intercoolers, bodykits etc. do you have to remove all that? :crazy:

And with :o :aggressive: regency :aggressive: :o

do you have to return the car to stock every time you get defected? :P
i basicly want to know wats Acceptable from your Experiences
(as im sure my driving habits will only go down hill with all that power)


cheers guys and gals

hey
if your going to get a new supra i reckon with the new rules it would be easier to get one locally. if not then you'll need a proper importer to bring one in for you that can do compliance. i think its towards $5000.

if you get a car that was made before jan 89 then it'll only cost around $1200 and some of the stuff on the car can stay. with the new rules on newer cars they have to be factory before they can be complied.

bout to take my car through regency so when i do that i can help you a little. if any of what i've said is wrong let us know cause i'm not 100%.

Cheers spence,
yep let us now how ya go. i was just wondering how harsh they are on mkiv's

i realise i will have to use a importer. but is it posible to do the complice work your self and just get someone to sign it off.??
coz most of it seems very basic.

[Spence]

i'm gonna try to do as much of my compliance myself but i'm not sure about the newer supras i would imagine you can. if you do wanna import your own i can give you a few names that can help you but i haven't checked if you can do compliance here in adelaide. i'll have a look to see if you can.

With a MKIV I doubt very much you would be able to do ANY of the compliance work yourself. And, if you did do it yourself I'm sure the compliance place would still charge about the same.

I think it comes down to a legal requirement of RAWS where they have to comply the vehicle in accordance with the "evidence" they provided to be able to get the plates.

I'm not too sure how it works out with things like kits and wheels now days as I impoted my RZ about two years ago and it went through with a few basic mods no problem.

Maybe ask KAMiKAZE as he had his RZ complied under the new law only a few (3-6) months ago.

From what I've seen on the various mailing lists, the brokers seem to be selecting examples which are fairly stock both in appearance and modifications.

I suppose, though, you could pick the car up yourself from the docks (as I did when I imported mine) and take it home to rip off all the non OEM gear and replace it with "borrowed" OEM bits and pieces. Then after compliance has been done and it's gone through Regency and passed, you'd then, obviously, throw your old gear back on. Something to think about maybe.

There's been some nice examples on the mail lists lately too, like a Silver 1996 RZ (auto) going for $19,800 or something like that...

Anyway, if you have any more questions please ask as I'm sure someone will try to answer to their best ability and knowledge.

:cheers:

And i'm sure we could all pull together to help you out with lending those OEM bits...

Im sure you guys wouldnt mind a upgrade for a couple of weeks and a carton for your trouble.....

thanks for your input guys if any one could give me some names and numbers on compliance places for mkiv in adelaide (if any) that would be great

well a Mechanic (dont no where from :whistling: not from GE and cant comply supras Either :smileygay: ) told a friend as they were talking about how i was gettin mine in. funny coz he rang me up instantly to tell me, guess he thort i might of been gettin screwed but im not using them.

susss................ ;)

[RZPECT]

Anyways just pointing that out coz I don’t want to see anyone getting a supra over get screwed. Should also point out again that this is a rumor and I’ve also been told that they do great work as well so i dont want to take anything away from there buz.

[Boost Samurai]

A mate of mine from work is importing a Supra and planning to go through them so I'll let him know and get him to sus it out.

BTW, who is doing your compliance if not BE?

[RZPECT]

i could tell you but id have to kill you.
when its all 100% il let you know :)

[spiller]

well my car has now pretty much been returned to stock, and my compliance inspection is tomorrow morning.....well this morning lol.

fingers crossed that it passes. ill be quite peeved if it doesnt considering the effort my father and i have put in over the last few weeks to get it ready in time.
